Sustainability through Diversity: pecha kucha presentation to Be2Camp Oxon for Ada Lovelace Day What if Ada Lovelace was looking for a career in Sustainability and BIM - SustainaBIMity

1. SUSTAINABILITY thru
DIVERSITY
A Living Building Challenge Ambassador,
Martin is a firm believer that sustainability
needs to be salutogenic*, not just doing less
bad, but doing more good …
@FAIRSNAPE
*Salutogenic: focusing on factors that support human health
and well-being, rather than on factors that cause ill health

2. IF ADA LOVELACE WAS
LOOKING TO WORK IN
… SustainaBIMity

3. THREAT:
lack of gender diversity
1. Smart construction and digital
design.
2. Low carbon and sustainable
construction.
3. Improved trade performance.
Success in these priority areas depends
on having a skilled, motivated and
diverse workforce
Only 13.5% of people working in
the industry are women
will require improvements in ways of
working, for example in flexibility, and
handling of workplace stress, in order
to create working environments which
are more inclusive

5. If we want to change
the world …
Then we need to change
the conversation …

6. YOU ARE THE INDUSTRY
YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE
That Satya Nadella
Microsoft faux pas
“our industry must
close the gender (pay)
gap”
Nilofer Merchant –
Time Magazine
Bias against women in tech is fixable. But only
with conscious leadership.

7. Sarah Richardson, Editor, Building: FUTURE OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT ECOBUILD
CUSP OF A RADICAL
TRANSFORMATION
… to realise the transformation a shift in the demographic of the sector itself is
required,
… attract a broad mix of talent that can
imagine a future free from the
constraints of the past.

10. THE FUTURE IS
ALREADY HERE –
ITS JUST UNEVENLY
DISTRIBUTED. William Gibson
TIME TO REDISTRIBUTE ….

11. THREE STAR LEVEL
1. Organization has a written and publicly
posted policy on gender diversity within its
workforce.
2. Organization has a workforce with a
maximum 5 percent deviation
from a gender-balanced workforce.
3. Organization has a maximum 10
percent deviation from a gender-balanced
management and senior
leadership staff.

12. "Going social" has huge
potential for helping
women leaders elevate
their own voices, add
fresh thinking to
important conversations,
and build trusted
community with an
impact that makes a world
of business difference.
Mark my words.
